It is the first book to analyze the explanatory value of a number of typologies already in use around this topic – from \"holy city\" to \"secular city\", from \"fundamentalist\" to \"postsecular city\". By intertwining the city and religion, urban theory and theories of religion, this is the first book to provide an international and interdisciplinary analysis of post-secular urbanism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book argues that, given the rise of religiously inspired violence and the increasing significance of charismatic Christianity, Islam and other spiritual traditions, the master narrative that modern societies are secular societies has lost its empirical plausibility. Instead, we are seeing the pluralization of religion, the co-existence of different religious worldviews, and the simultaneity of secular and religious institutions that shape everyday life. These particular constellations of \"religious pluralism\" are, above all, played out in cities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Including contributions from Peter L. Berger and Nezar Alsayyad, this book conceptually and empirically revokes the dissolution between city and religion to unveil its intimate relationship, and offers an alternative view on the quotidian state of the global urban condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelmuth Berking \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Sociology and Fellow at the Institute of Sociology at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSilke Steets\u003c\/b\u003e is a Heisenberg Fellow at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Philosophy at Leipzig University, Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJochen Schwenk \u003c\/b\u003eis Lecturer and Post-doctoral Researcher at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 October 2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350136656\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e248\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.48\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63033068224652,"sku":"9781350136656","price":43.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_dba9a943-673a-4819-9f6a-4c4524c87f1d.jpg?v=1792189235","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350136656","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
